It's true, their R&D, factory and technical departments have been excellent, and their pit crews have been solid as well.

Sticking to your team ethos of not having a #1 driver and potentially missing out on a WDC no one thought you were going to get anyway isn’t being complete morons.

Potentially throwing away a WDC when it's almost 20 years since your last is idiotic. At least if you have ambitions of being an actual top team. Red Bull will not flounder forever, Merc is gaining ground rapidly and Ferrari is building for the future. This season McLaren is the only team capable of challenging Red Bull/Max, but going forward there are absolutely no guarantees they'll remain top dog. Not capitalising on a golden opportunity falling in your lap is moronic for a so-called big team.
